Yes, kinda annoying. But on the other hand, given that apple releases a new chip every 12 months, we can grant them some slack here. Given that from AMD, Intel or nvidia we see usually a 2 year cadence.
Yeah, it looks pretty awesome, I am just a little afraid of the price. I want to see one of these in person so I can feel the textured screen. Does it actually have a "feel"? I currently use a textured screen cover for iPad art and it has a great feel but everything else about it is terrible, from the mandatory daily cleaning to the way it grinds pencil tips.

But I guess I will never find out since it would cost $1548 to replace my existing 12.9 iPad Pro, net of the trade-in. Yikes. Could probably get double the trade value they are offering on eBay or Craigslist.
It also doesn't help that there are now taxes to pay on house appreciation whenever you sell, so you can't sell and take the proceeds to buy elsewhere since the taxman will take a large chunk of it.

It used to be that if you sold one house and bought another for same price then there would be no appreciation taxes, but that stopped a few(?) years ago.

Until something changes, many people are stuck in their homes, unless they are willing to accept the huge downgrade in what they can afford if they moved.
OLED, faster chip, better camera, improved accessories are all pretty nice things and definitely not the same device.

You Apple haters are tiresome. Hardware-wise what else do you want it to do?

I don't think it costs that much to have the battery replaced compared to the price of a new laptop.
My dev laptop is an 8GB M1. It's fine. Mostly.

I can't run podman, slack, teams, and llama3-8B in llama.cpp at the same time. Oddly enough, this is rarely a problem.
There are two legal systems in the United States. The one for rich and powerful people and the one for everyone else. These two systems treat people wildly differently. There is nothing just about our justice system. When we do not all receive equal treatment under the law the system has failed.

Impossible why? That's what happened with M1 too.

But as someone else noted, CPU power draw is not the only factor in device battery life. A major one, but not the whole story.
That's right. I acknowledged that that increase in that comparison was likely biased since those people would also add a card, which increases conversion rate in itself (but also weeds out those that are uncommitted). But that doesn't change the fact that overall conversion rates were higher when I went out and manually offered extended trials.
What do you mean? The previous iPad Pros didn't have a home button either. The last iPad with a home button was the 9th generation iPad, released in 2021.

My current assumption is that this has to do with whatever "AI" Apple is planning to launch at WWDC. If they launched a new iPad with an M3 that wasn't able to sufficiently run on-device LLMs or whatever new models they are going to announce in a month, it would be a bad move. The iPhones in the fall will certainly run some new chip capable of on-device models, but the iPads (being announced in the Spring just before WWDC) are slightly inconveniently timed since they have to announce the hardware before the software.
Game development is in a really weird place. Insanely over-saturated but almost all AAA games are extremely derivative, stale, bland games with a coat of pretty graphics

Indie games are awesome right now, but they don't have the budgets to produce AAA games. So there is a huge gap. Innovative indie games with cool, new gameplay concepts, but always simple or retro graphics, and AAA games with shiny graphics on the other end but gameplay that hasn't changed in over a decade.

I'm just waiting for any AAA studio to provide something new with the AAA games. Maybe AI to improve NPCs in an open world game? Anything besides the same old gameplay with new skins on it.

We use meta string mainly for object serialization. Users passed an object to Fury, we return a binary to users.
In such cases, the serialized binary are mostly in 200~1000 bytes. Not big enough for zstd to work.

For dictionary encoding, Fury used similar tech too. When a string first come up, we encoding it as binary, later writing in same object graph will write such string as an varint id.

Zstd can be used with Fury too. For multiple serialization across different objects. Fury don't have a context to compression, unless users enable fury meta share mode. If meta share mode not enabled, zstd can be used to compress data across multiple object graph serializaiton

Every time Apple ups their display game, I shout, "Finally, someone else will have to take action & up their game! This will finally spurn everyone else into trying!" So far, not much luck!

And once again, Apple critically one-upping their themselves, while it feels like no one's started competing with the old product. OLED with 1000 nit full screen sdr output? That's 4x what most OLED monitors can do! 1600 nit hdr is great too.

These are amazing systems, must be stunning to see. I wish there were general purpose computers like this that could run Linux. I wish others could compete. Apple keeps being the SpaceX to the industry's Boeing.
In 2008 the government opened the floodgates because it was desperately needed, and even then there was a long languishing period afterwards.

In 2020 the government opened the floodgates again, but it far beyond overkill for the actual damage done. Most people kept on working and still got tons of economic stimulus (largely in the form of low interest loans and debt moratoriums, not really the checks).
It's really not. That's just the prevailing misconception around here from a group of people that seems unwilling to read anything about crypto not written by luddite griftfluencers.
It's pretty easy to convert your TV to a PC console. Just grab a HDMI/DisplayPort cable and some USB cables for controllers. Wire your TV up, start Steam Big Picture mode, done. You now have a console with a zillion awesome games in the exact same place you had the console connected.

Here's [1] the Steam page for split screen games. Currently there are 934. Can't go wrong with Earth Defense Force! And no you don't need a "gaming PC." That term doesn't even make any sense in modern times, because if you have a computer from within the past decade or so, you can run the overwhelming majority of games with no problem. And I mean that literally - for instance GTA V requires an AMD HD 4870 card. That card was released in 2008!

Honestly, the iPhone is pretty good at video now, I wish they still made an iPod Touch-class device, just with upgraded cameras. No need for cellular and all the additional baggage of being a phone.

On the other end—I'm amazed Sony, Canon, and Nikon (not to mention the smaller camera players) haven't found a way to build an iPhone-esque camera that they could convince Apple to tie into their systems, so you could have the same ease of integration like with Final Cut Camera.

Maybe Nikon intends to do something there with RED?
Rails is great, until it's not. Many of whe successful companies built on Rails were started in a different world without lots of external APIs (OpenAI anyone?) to integrate with, user expectations around central identity, authz and other things you'll want to talk to in order to serve a request.

In 2024, I wouldn't start a company or project based on a language and framework that doesn't have a great concurrency story (don't tell me how great Fibers are please). There are plenty of alternatives (nextJS, Remix, etc).

On top of that, the prevalence of OO antipatterns in the Ruby community (global mutable state, prevalence of inheritance over composition, complete disregard of SOLID) will eat up any initial productivity gains pretty fast.
I mean. The writing was on the wall there TBH.

Microsoft has been consistently failing to support and engage game developers since early in the 360 cycle, then the doublespeak crook Spencer took over, and it got even worse.

This whole shitting on AA was bound to happen with Xbox fanboys saying that “it is good that Microsoft is buying studios to give Sony a taste of their own medicine!”

Except MS is still not giving Xbox gamers a taste of Sony medicine, because Sony gets out there and gives games chances, funds loads of “trial” titles, supports developers and studios, etc.

I don’t like that Sony just does this better, as I am a PC gamer and Sonys PC game is awful.

Ah yeah this pisses me off on my M2 iPad Pro. Totally agree there.

Counternite, fort of duty, whatever. I care so little for this class of game that I can't be bothered to spend the brain space to keep them separate.

Not saying they're good or bad, I'm just not interested in the slightest.
IME Apple has always been the most honest when it makes performance claims. LIke when they said an Macbook Air would last 10+ hours and third-party reviewers would get 8-9+ hours. All the while, Dell or HP would claim 19 hours and you'd be lucky to get 2 eg [1].

As for CPU power use, of course that doesn't translate into doubling battery life because there are other components. And yes, it seems the OLED display uses more power so, all in all, battery life seems to be about the same.

I'm interested to see an M3 vs M4 performance comparison in the real world. IIRC the M3 was a questionable upgrade. Some things were better but some weren't.

Overall the M-series SoCs have been an excellent product however.

HTTPS is not enough for public WiFi. Domain names get leaked due to how the TLS negotiation works, and unencrypted HTTP sites or ones with weak crypto are still more common than they should be.

Plus, many public WiFi networks exist which block SSH or specific websites to keep security auditors happy while allowing VPN to make business people happy. I used such a public WiFi quite recently, which blocked not only SSH but Hacker News - I assume some bad site database misunderstands the name of this site.

As for hiding from governments, I’m not aware of any Western government that has so far gained the power to force its companies to affirmatively lie about whether they have shared logs with the government. So far, they can sometimes force silence, and can sometimes force a previously published canary notice not to be removed, but they haven’t yet had any right confirmed to uphold a compelled lie. So any Western provider that continues to publish suitably broadly worded canary notices on a verifiably still-updated basis (e.g. securely OpenPGP-signed together with a bit of new daily news headlines) is either telling the truth or is lying without being legally forced to do so.
Most game studios don't give 2 shits about the games themselves, it's all about the MTX. They don't care if selling the game installer is a massive money loss, it's about bringing in the microtransactions and the massive piles of cash they create (generally at the expense of the users game experience).
> is shaving pennies off the cost by removing physical buttons

These are not pennies at scale. These are 9-10 figure costs at scale.

Just using the iPhone 15 Max as an example [0], your BoM is around $550-650 (including labor), but sells for $1,200.

50% margins are not great, especially because the the BoM grew from $400-500 for the iPhone 14 Max (Edit: "The parts costs for the Max series ranged between $400 and $450 during the 2018 to 2021 period", not iPhone 14), which also sold for $1,200.

A 50% decrease in margins on the flagship phone is a massive decrease in margins, and it's most likely similar across all Apple SKUs.

Every single component if you're in the hardware space costs money and overhead to manage, and supply chain issues can push back releases.

This is why companies are moving towards digital displays. It's the same principle why EVs can be more reliable than ICE vehicles due to less parts

Things are good yes. but they could always be better.

Imagine how much more they could be if the community of people who like to hack on open devices to create cool software for that community could do so.

What would Blender look like on a device like this?

How would the creator community feel if the hacker community was able to get side car sharing multiple screens so they could use 2 big ipad pros as screens on either side of their macbook pro and another ipad mini with an apple pencil as an input device?

Imagine a scenario where things like nextcloud had better system wide integration into the iOS and macOS ecosystem. I bet creative types would love the money they could save in cloud hosting from that.
I'm sort of "incentivized" to by Apple because as soon as they release a new one, the current device you have will be at "peak trade in value" and deteriorate over time.

It's a negligible amount of money. It's like, brand new $999, trade in for like $450. Once a year... $550 remainder/12 months is $45.75/mo to have the latest and greatest laptop.
> Then you should very well know how hardware has always been a loss leader intended to drive people to exclusives and first party services.

Just like the number one console, the Switch? Sold at a loss? To drive people to play the exclusives?

TBH I won't engage further in this line.
I agree people can be really annoying about heating up cold brew. Iced espresso no problem, heated cold brew = mind blown.
Ironically, "building more housing" still solves this problem.

The corporations are buying and renting because it makes business sense. If we just keep building houses, the market values for rents and home prices will reach an inflection point. Investment companies aren't going to keep buying houses if they have a high vacancy on existing stock, they're going to start selling houses or lowering rent.

The fundamental problem is "too little supply". Regulating the demand side is at best a bandaid. The solution is to change regulations to allow faster, cheaper, easier building until the equilibrium market price of housing is something reasonable.

Meta string is not designed for encoding arbitrary strings, they are used to encode limited enumerated string only, such as classname/fieldname/packagename/namespace/path/modulename. This is why we name it as meta string, used in a case where lossless statistical compresion can't provide a gain

2DGS: 2D Gaussian Splatting for Geometrically Accurate Radiance Fields
While agreeing with where you're coming from, one of the big things that makes it hard for me to see relief coming is that construction prices remain quite high. Of course they could be high because the industry is busy building many new construction spec homes. But from what I've seen it feels like there's just too many accumulated layers of administrative workers/overhead, instead of increased wages that would encourage more people to do this work.
The hardware might be a loss leader, but the manufacturer controls access to the hardware, so every game developer for the hardware is giving them a portion of the sale price. They were Steam before Steam existed. Sony didn't make most of their money on first party games, but on third party fees. The first party games, along with the loss leaders, were there to bootstrap getting consumers to buy the console.

The reason to abandon hardware is when you aren't going to get many third party sales regardless, because you are getting destroyed: In large part because your first party games and the console experience aren't attracting enough players. Microsoft hasn't whiffed with every game they released in the last 5 years, but their batting average has been very low.

If your games aren't selling, it makes sense to abandon hardware, but it's even more important to downsize your studios that are releasing underperforming games.
It's not only about the quality, for much less than a thousand dollars you can get a better dedicated camera.
That's a good point actually. I can't seem to even bend my M1 Pro MBP. It just eats everything I throw at it and shrugs. It's coming up to 3 years old now and looks like and works like the day it was made.
Since they’re not releasing why her sentence was reduced, it probably wasn’t due to good behavior or the other regular stuff. To me, this reeks of cooperation with authorities.

I'm just venting that their processor strategy doesn't make much sense. The iPad gets the M4, but the Mini and Studio and Mac Pro are still on M2 and the MacBooks are on M3.

They've essentially undercut every Mac they currently sell by putting the M4 in the iPad and most people will never use that kind of power in an iPad.

If you are going to spend $4k on a Mac don't you expect it to have the latest processor?

I try really hard to use my iPad but I forget about it most days. Sometimes I’ll watch movies on it in bed and that’s about it. A complete waste of money for me. The only time it truly was helpful was during online interviews when I could draw system design diagrams with the Apple pencil on them during zoom calls instead of using a mouse. Haven’t really used them since.
What’s wrong with that? Every new version is an upgrade for somebody. Not everyone is trying to upgrade every year. That’s wasteful.

I have an iPad Air. I use it a lot but generally just to watch Netflix or Youtube. I don't enjoy typing on it at all. I have the Air specifically because it's TouchID. I hate FaceID with a passion.

But this update has pushed up the iPad Pro price well into the Macbook territory and that's a much more capable and flexible device.
It's not terribly expensive if you trade-in or otherwise sell or hand down the previous.

An NVIDIA RTX 4090 generates 73 TFLOPS. This iPad gives you nearly half that. The memory bandwidth of 120 GBps is roughly 1/10th of the NVIDIA hardware, but who’s counting!
